  White clean shaven man runs over muslims

  by silentbuddha in

  2. current

  so in england they report a "white clean-shaven man" mowed down worshippers at a mosque.

  why do they never make such detailed descriptions when muslims do the same?.

  i hope this event isn't a bad turning point.

  Marking Talks are back!?!?! - New Name!

  by thedepressedsoul in

  when i was younger i used to hear about "marking talks" given in the past.

  i believe they stopped in the 80's or 90's.

  basically, if someone wasn't baptized or doing something unrepentant, they would get a "marking talk" and be treated the same as a df person.

  The congregation I was in until about two years ago, used marking talks pretty often!

  My first wife had been studying for two years before we got married, and got baptised two weeks before we got married. I never told her, that I was going to be marked, and have a special talk marking me, if she wasn't baptised! I had not understood that I would be marked, because she had made it plain she was going to get baptised in the spring, but changed and did it at the end of summer!

  Has there ever been a time when someone has been outed as a JW mole on this forum?

  by Tenacious in

  2. scandals

  having been a jw for decades i'm used to watching what i do, say, or watch, in fear of being snitched on.. therefore, i the question begs.. there have been instances, i won't say how, where i've felt some members are being deliberate in their attempt to feign support for the anti-jw rhetoric on this forum.. any input is greatly appreciated..

  I had been reading this site for about a year before joining. Then I judged posted bit's now and then. I finally posted my awaking story. I thought I had changed enough information around to keep from getting ID'ed! We a few weeks went by, and I received a pm, from another exjw, saying I think I my know who you are! For three weeks, I lived in fear, being I am still pretending to be in. My mind was running wild, trying to figure out who it could be. Then I got a call over Skype. It turned out to be someone living about 50 miles away, and totally out. Turned out that my wife's oldest girl, and told his girl's all about my story, and he put 2 and 2 together! I have visited him and the family a few times, it great to have someone near by!

  I went back and edited my story even more!

  Some recent baptism figures in the UK - is there a "bounce back"?

  by freddo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, round my way (south of the uk) all the way up to and including the regional conventions this summer, baptism numbers have been extremely low.

  but i have just received news of three recent circuit assembly days where the figures seem to be higher.

  (all have been across the last three weekends at a uk assembly hall in october).

  There was one DC in Memphis back in the mid 75, just before the end came in. 75, where there was 15,000 there. Total baptised, right around 2,000!
